✧✦Catherine✦✧can we talk about how deliberately, purposefully cruel the UK settlement (permanent residency) process is
super priority for 1000 GBP gives you the result on next day
btw it's 3226 GBP per person
Coral (bleached era)@whitequark yes, it is. I didn't even know about the police registration requirement.
Many people who consider themselves internationally-minded and tolerant have no idea about any of this.
artemist@coral @whitequark police registration is weirdly common, e.g. in the us non-citizens have to report their address to uscis after moving. in italy non-citizens entering from other schengen countries are required to register within 8 days, or stay in a hotel that performs the registration. china has a similar registration requirement, but hotels that accept foreigners will handle it.

mx [@whitequark, @artemist, @coral], the Netherlands, Poland and Spain have similar requirements too, and those are just the countries it (various levels of officially) lived in recently.
Inga stands with 🇺🇦 🇵🇸@1 @whitequark @artemist @coral Germany too, have to register IIRC within 14 days of move. Regardless of whether you're immigrant or citizen
